Mounted search and rescue

["Howard Smith" <Horseman@justice.com>]

Hi, T'Mi,

I wonder if you might send me by email attachment your
materials for presentation of a MSAR team?

I have started a MSAR team with the local Civil Air
Patrol, hope to extend it to the Game department, and
the USFS.

I first started the founding of a Backcountry Riders of
Montana as an educationally- and training-oriented
nonprofit organization intended to teach backcountry
riding, camping, and packing skills. Then I added in
Leave No Trace training. MSAR is an additional training
we will offer.

I have been developing my own materials. If you send me
yours, I will send you mine as I develop them.

Best regards,

Howard in Beautiful Montana
